Training Time

VA benefits are paid on a monthly basis. This benefit is determined by the type of training program and the training time (i.e., full-time, part-time, etc.). The Veterans Administration uses the semester hour classification scale to determine a veteran's payment. A student is certified for the number of semester hours that they enroll in at New Mexico State University. Summer sessions are calculated differently from the fall and spring semesters. For Fall and Spring rates, click here; for Summer rates, click here (you may also use the menu link to the left).

Adjustments are made when a student stops attening a class. Federal law requires that students report any change in his/her enrollment status which might affect their VA educational benefits to the school and to VA. Failure to report dropped classes can result in an overpayment. So, it is important that you keep your VA representative notified of changes.
